YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened legal action against the BBC for its editing of a speech he gave on Jan. 6, 2021 — the day his supporters overran the Capitol — in the broadcaster's flagship Panorama documentary program. The British broadcaster admitted to an 'error of judgment,' prompting two of its senior leaders to resign. Andrew Chang breaks down how all this happened, and why the network may have to pay a steep price to defend its reputation.
